The Sinister Six Movie Line-Up: "Nothing is Sacred," Says Producer

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 definitely sets the stage for the forthcoming Sinister Six movie, which we now know will be directed by Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods). But what’s not clear is the exact line-up of the super-villain team.

Speaking to IGN, the film's producer Matt Tolmach revealed that, “Nothing is sacred. I mean it’s going to be the best Six that you can imagine, but it’s going to make sense in the world that we’re building.”

Meanwhile his co-producer Avi Arad spoke about the need to draw on different eras of the comic's history. So while the trailer hints at the involvement of Doc Ock and Vulture, don't expect to see the 'classic' line-up.

“When you translate comic to film the word 'classic' means the first fifty issues," says Arad. "Because after that we all made changes; changes that had to do with science-fiction turning into science. I think just the need to move this world forward.

“So, of course we'll make adaptations about these guys and what was their motivations because many of them have multiple motivations. It depends, is it ultimate Spider-Man? Is it Spider-Man? Is it some three-piece issue that takes them to space? We have a bigger responsibility to represent the character of the villain as it was conceived, because that way it will survive the test of time. All the rest... that's a movie. What an opportunity to make-- can you imagine seeing Paul Giamatti in a leather suit? I think they would have killed us. They gave us a hard time with the Lizard.”
